Big Picture School Distinguishers
Big Picture Schools are distinguished by the use of the same language and practice. All Big Picture High Schools share common characteristics which we call "distinguishers"
Distinguishers
- One student at a time
- Learning in the real world
- Authentic assessment
- School organisation
- Advisory structure
- School culture
- Leadership
- Parent/family engagement
- School college partnership
- Professional development
The distinguishers exist as a comprehensive whole. They are interrelated and inform one another and so no distinguisher is more important than another and none work in isolation.
It is the combination of the distinguishers, the degree to which Big Picture Schools employ them, and intensive conversations of reflection and action, that results in the powerful success of the design
